'In my experience, Windows XP runs fine on relatively modern hardware.' How modern? And what hardware models? Was the newer hardware Win 7 compatible or later?

I wish you'd be more specific and tell us how as it's never worked for me even after mucking about with different PC hardware and various different AHCI and other drivers.
- MayeulC 6y agoI'll try again soon. I definitely remember running it on: - Intel Core 2 Quad and Xeon E5472, DDR2. Old-ish (the xeon came out in 2010), but I used that system as my main until 2018 -- though with Linux. - Samsung N220 (or quite similar) netbook. That thing originally came out with Win7 starter, and was a slog with it. A cursory search ("Ryzen XP") gives plenty of results: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/installing-windows-xp-on-am4-ryzen-7.414683/page-2#post-5541896 https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/installing-windows-xp-on-a... https://community.hwbot.org/topic/189776-xp-works-on-ryzen/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/189776-xp-works-on-ryzen/ Though by now ReactOS might be better supported, especially on modern HW.
- hilbert42 6y agoThanks for the info. I'll check that out. I wouldn't hold my breath with ReactOS. It seems to me there's so few developing it that it'll never reach critical mass. Shame really, as alternative non-MS O/S that runs x86/64 Win APIs would be useful.
